Come on board India’s first cruise from Mumbai to Maldives

Home to one of the most pristine sparkling white beaches in the world, Maldives is an unrivalled travel destination that has some stunning underwater life. Its proximity to India makes it an obvious choice for travellers who wish to see both the destinations. And if the dream of travelling on a luxury cruise always tickled your imagination, your wish has just been granted. A renowned Italian luxury cruise operator has started operating from Mumbai to Maldives’ capital Male from December 2016. Tourists can now take the ship called ‘Costa neoClassica’, an elegant cruise ship with 654 cabins, from India to Male.

This is the first time any cruise ship has operated from India. Till now, Indian tourists had to travel abroad to be able to experience luxury cruise ships.
